I’m not a big TV watcher, but I really loved Burn Notice - the explosions, the interplay between the cast, the humor, and the overarching story interspersed with Michael’s client of the week.

The book did a really good job with Michael’s voiceover, but Sam and Fiona didn’t sound like themselves. Some of the dialogue and things that were said didn’t fit with their personality on the show.

The story was interesting, and it’s always fun to see Michael save the day. I love Michael Westen.

Surprisingly readable and very, very in-character for the main leads. A little confusing with the POV-switches (p.43, meet Sam's brain! p.99, suddenly we're Fiona!) but very snappy dialog and clean, polished writing, tons of Miami placeporn and exactly zero input required from my brain, which needed a quiet lie-down.
